WILDERNESS FRAMES, MONTANA FRAMES, CUSTOM CONDUIT FRAMES, AND METAL TENT FRAME PARTS
Aluminum tent frames have aluminum angles and steel sleeves for rafters. Frames 12' wide and larger will feature 2-piece rafters.
The outside diameter of aluminum poles is 1 1/8". Aluminum poles have approximately 25% less strength than steel poles.
| Frame Size | Steel - Weight | Aluminum - Weight |
| 8x10 - 3 Rafter | 71 lb | 29 lb |
| 10x12 - 3 Rafter | 79 lb | 32 lb |
| 12x14 - 4 Rafter | 110 lb | 44 lb |
| 14x16 - 4 Rafter | 115 lb |

| 16x24 - 6 Rafter | 178 lb | 72 lb |
Be advised that frames that use cables are much weaker than normal frames. Cables are only used on aluminum tent frames that are not strong. Frames that have 3/4" conduit or thin-walled aluminum frames normally have cables. A 3/4" conduit frame has approximately 1/3 less strength than a 1" conduit frame. 3/4" conduit frames normally require more rafters due to 3/4" conduit not being as strong as 1" conduit.
"MINIMUM" RAFTERS FOR EACH TENT SIZE
- 8’ x 10’: 3 RAFTERS
- 10’ x12’: 3 RAFTERS
- 12’ x 14’: 4 RAFTERS (3 rafters not recommended, as it has only one middle rafter in the middle supporting 14 feet)
- 14’ x 16’: 4 RAFTERS
- 16’ x 20’: 5 RAFTERS
- 16’ x 24’: 6 RAFTERS
The price of aluminum tent frames is based on a tent with a 5' or shorter sidewall.
THE TENT IS DESIGNED NOT TO FIT TIGHT ON YOUR FRAME AND METAL TENT FRAME PARTS TO ALLOW FOR TENT CANVAS SHRINKAGE. All tent canvas will shrink 1-3 % after it becomes wet.
If you want your tent to have a tighter fit on the frame, set your tent up and spray it down with water inside and out, especially on the seams. The seams have small needle holes, which will close when sprayed with water.
If you are not concerned about a slightly loose tent, the tent will naturally shrink over time as a result of dew and condensation.
Never have a tight tent on steel or aluminum tent frames. When a tent is tight on a frame, there is tremendous pressure on the seams and zippers. Eventually, the seams will loosen or tear. A tight zipper will fail. Same process as when a person wears extremely skintight jeans.
Wilderness Frame Includes:
- 1 angle bag.
- Frames cannot be returned or refunded, as each frame is made for a specific tent.
- If you want to save money on your frame, purchase an angle kit to make your frame out of conduit, which will normally save you $200 to $400, depending on what tent size you purchase.
- However, if you don't want to make a conduit tent frame or don't have the time, we can make steel or aluminum tent frames for you. We will ship the frame in 2-3 days. Any questions on how to make a frame from conduit, view angle kit instructions. Also, call us if you have questions about any of our metal tent frame parts.
- Tent sizes and minimum rafters per size of tent are listed on the pricing chart. Rafters per tent size are the minimum required to ensure proper roof support.
- IF YOU HAVE A USED WILDERNESS TENT OR MONTANA TENT, OR OTHER TENT BRAND, click angle kit instructions for info on how to measure tent measurements A, B, C, D as required above. Call with your measurements to order steel or aluminum tent frames.
- Made of 1 1/8" outside diameter galvanized steel conduit. 1 inch inside diameter.
- One person set up. No pins, bolts, or clips.
- Snow loads. Canvas tents are not designed for heavy snow loads like a wooden structure. Houses have rafters every 2 feet to carry the snow weight on the roof. If you plan on leaving your tent set up during winter, you need to have at a minimum rafters every 2 feet.
- Even with tent rafters every 2 feet, it is still possible your roof will cave in during heavy snow loads.
RAFTERS:
- A 10" coupler will be used for 2-piece rafters on 12’ x 14’, 14’ x 16’, 16’ x 20’, and 16’ x 24’ tents.
- 8’ x 10’ and 10’ x 12’ tents will have 1-piece rafters.
TENT LENGTHS/HORIZONTALS: 1 PIECE
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a steel or aluminum tent frame?
Steel tent frames are stronger and more durable, making them a better option for long-term or heavy-use setups. Aluminum frames are significantly lighter (about 40% less weight than steel) and easier to transport, which is ideal for hunters, outfitters, or anyone who needs a portable option. The choice for metal tent frame parts depends on whether you prioritize strength or portability.
Can I return or exchange a tent frame if it doesn’t fit?
No. Because each frame is made to fit a specific tent size and style, frames are not returnable or refundable. Be sure to double-check your tent’s measurements before ordering steel or aluminum tent frames.
What tools do I need to cut my own tent frame?
If you’re building your own conduit tent frame using an angle kit, you’ll need only a few basic tools:
- Tape Measure – to mark accurate pole lengths.
- Permanent Marker or Chalk – for marking cut lines.
- HackSaw or Chop/Miter Saw with a Metal-Cutting Blade – to cut the conduit to size.
- File or Deburring Tool – to smooth sharp edges after cutting.
